Google Earth Visualisation
One thing RAMS Plus doesn't do so well is give you a 3D idea of what is happening in the airspace, so we've explored using Google Earth for this. It's relatively easy to use the flight outputs from RAMS and convert these to a series of latitude, longitude and altitude points to view in Google Earth. You can save them as a *.kml file using a little utility called EarthPlot (though there are several others out there). By loading up successive files of individual flights, different colours can be overlaid.
